is this true???!!!??!!?!
 

i heard dat if you play burned games on your dreamcast it messes up your lens. i dunno its something ive been hearing. anyone know the real truth?

naw, thats not true, at leat I don't think it is. Although if you burn a DC game on a CD-RW, and modify your dreamcast lens to be able to read CD-RWs, then in that case the lens will ware out sooner, but I don't think it is true.

Using Copied disks in no way harms your lens, what a complete load of twaddle.
Forceing ur DC to read CDRW disks however will cause the lens to have a shorter life span, since you are running it at a highter power.
